So while Steven was finishing up his degree (1 1/2 years ago), he promised the kids and I that we would go to Disneyland. Well, last weekend we finally got to go and it was worth the wait since all of our kids were tall enough to ride any ride we wanted. Aubrey wishes she wasn't tall enough for the Indiana Jones ride. She hated anything that had "big dips" or went fast. She loved Dumbo though. Emmalee is our dare devil and the faster the better for her. Damian was the cautious one at first but had a blast and asked to ride "50,000" more times. I guess 50,000 is his favorite number. We couldn't have had a better vacation and the wonderful memories we made is what it is all about. It truly is "where all your dreams come true."
Here are a few pictures of our wonderful memories.
